And we welcome you back to our in season podcast from the podium where we feature all of the daily press conferences from before and after practice all rolled into one podcast. I'm Jason Gibbs day number seven of training camp is in the books and on today show.

You'll hear from head coach Kevin Stofansky safety grand outfit and wide receiver Donovan peoples Jones first up. It's head coach Kevin Stofansky talking to the media before day seven of practice as the team ramped up the intensity in pads.

Good guys far away. What's your theme for today's practice? What do you want to do? Yes, it's going to be a good work. We'll have some competitive periods. I think well towards the end of practice you'll see what's unscripted, meaning everybody's off to the sideline.

The players don't it's not on the script. They don't know what plays coming up. So just getting ready for game reps, which are coming sooner than later. You know Thursday night we got to get guys used to getting in the huddle getting out of the hood on their coaches aren't standing behind them telling them where to line up.

You know, it's a little bit of taking the governor off if that makes sense. So some really good work. We'll do some one on ones down in the red zone, which I think is always important for the wide receivers and DBs, but it'll be great opportunity to go against each other in competitive periods.

You have to kind of pay guys don't you know, you have to have that message with them. Oh, yeah, and I think you know, I have the message.

A B P and go towards and blah blah. You'll reiterate and bottom line as you can compete like crazy and you can take care of each other. And that's what we're trying to do because it's browns versus browns.

Yes, and the acclimation area here in full pledge training can't happen today.

In some ways, yeah, I would say there's certain thresholds that you hit and you're ready to ramp up and it'll look like practice.

But until you get into that, really that Washington game, you're still in some ways acclimating to the heat, acclimating to everything you're doing.

To mention, both sides offense and defense are still in installation mode.

So you're going to work someplace here today that haven't been run yet in practice and you just went over this morning with the team.

Jim's going to install different blitzes and different coverages that we haven't run just yet.

So we're still in that phase where we're ramping up the installation as well.

What do you most excited to see?

Well, I think it goes back to what we've been talking about. It's really hard to evaluate interior play without pads on.

Now, at least we get to see full speed up front.

You're not cutting somebody on the backside of a wide zone run. You're not taking a shot on somebody.

There's a point here where safety is going to have a free kill shot at a wide receiver that he would take in a game, but you would never take in practice.

But you get to see a little more aggressive nature up front.

Now, let the running back evaluation. Is it harder to do without pads on?

Yeah, it is. It's almost impossible.
